I have had that happen a lot. It's like cashiers at a grocery store that have to count down their drawer after work. They have to count the tickets when they change shifts I believe. They are not suppose to turn you away, but most of them do. When they count the tickets they don't want to adjust their charts because someone came in to buy while they were waiting on their co-worker to sign in.

Correct me if I'm wrong someone. I use to be a cashier before we had scratch-offs here in SC. I did have one lady go ahead and let me buy 3 (because I"m a regular) but she updated her chart while I was there. It basically comes down to pure laziness...like when you go to a gas station late at night and they put the out of order sign on the door because they just cleaned the bathroom at the end of their shift and they don't want you messing it up.

When it's time to clock out and go home, you do what you gotta do.

Dopey. You are correct. I use to work a grocery store with lottery. The end of the shift we had a starting # and ending # for the batches on the counter and had to make them match. That was old school and by hand. I think the newer systems, they run and print out the reports. I had it happen to me at a beer distributor before also. I would say there is no foul play involved.
